I look at the surrounding, and the small girl in front of me, her cute little face filled with fear.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Its simple.

There must be something behind me.

Some danger I cannot see.

The moment I turn around...

We both will die.

...

Think.

I can't cast anything.

I be killed in a second.

No.

I'm not going to die!

There must be something!

Use Hermes blessing.

...

Hermes...

I remember.

I can use my blessing.

A method where I don't need cast anything.

There must be something, right?

I can't die!

I...

I don't want to die!

I want to live!

I was given a second chance!

I can't just die!

I'm not going to die!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Error.

I need to know at least something about it for the blessing to work.

I know nothing.

How can I be curious about something if I don't know anything about it?

No!

I need to know something!

...

But I don't.

I can't.

I'm going to die.

"Ah... I'm going to die again..."

My vision is fading.

It's getting dark.

I feel my consciousness slowly fading away.

I close my eyes.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

As the darkness envelops me, I feel a strange sense of calm. It's as if I've been here before, in this exact moment. The darkness surrounds me, and I can't see anything.

But somehow, I know that I'm not alone.

My father and mother come into my mind.

I can feel their love for me, and it warms my heart.

I feel so loved.

But at the same time, I feel so much sadness. I'm going to die. I'm going to leave them.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to leave them.

I want to live.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Why are you crying?

My mother's voice echoes in my mind.

I'm not crying.

I'm just... sad.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Keep fighting, Kyouko.

My father's voice echoes in my mind.

I'm trying.

But I don't know how.

...

I feel a strange sensation. It's as if something is pulling me out of the darkness.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Do you believe in me?

Hermes voice echoes in my mind.

...Yes.

I believe in you.

...

I feel the darkness slowly fading away.

..

I'm still alive.

I open my eyes.

I'm not dead.

I'm not in the darkness.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Think about it.

If I don't know, make it up.

That's the only way I can survive.

Think!

Something. Anything.

Something I need to know.

I can't cast magic!

What can I do?

Magic... Casting... Magic!

"There has to be a way to do magic without casting spells, right?"

...

Suddenly...

I realize...

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯I understand.

I can make it up.

Visualization!

That's what I'm curious about!
